A fast-paced adventure for fans of preteen demi-gods featuring a relatable protagonist.

About
Momo Arashima is just trying to be a normal kid. But between seeing magical spirits who definitely aren't there, and her own general awkwardness, she's pretty sure she's stuck being the outcast forever. But when a magical fox shows up saying she's the only one who can stop the world from ending, she's going to have to learn to be anything but normal.

Thoughts
Wow! I wish I had this book when I was a kid, for a myriad of reasons, but most prominently, because it's a great adventure. It's fast-paced, fun, informative, and deeply relatable. The adventure moves very quickly, and with a bit of irreverence with an energy that will appeal to readers of the "pre teen demi-gods" genre. I also have a serious soft spot for stories about heroines with swords. Momo's struggles to fit in will resonate with any reader, but I appreciated the extra time spent on the difficulties of living in the diaspora. My heart really felt for Momo and Danny (and their parents) as they all did their best to figure out how and who to be. I also appreciated getting to peek into Momo's internal struggles with her own anger, and her attempts to learn how to channel it into healthy energy, rather than simply ignore it. While this book doesn't dedicate much time to that, the ending certainly implies we'll be getting more of it in the future, and I'm looking forward to it!
